Gerry puts her foot in it once again……
Was in the checkout queue, there was a wee man looking at special offers on bedding, he asked me if it was sheets in the packet I told him it was pillowcases the sheets were in the packets on the bottom shelf He asked me what colour he should get he had white in his hand, I said get the blue ones the white will get dirty easily. (he looked as though he needed a good wash) I told him he would need to buy 2 packets one sheets and the other pillowcases. He asked how much it would cost all in when I told him he put the packets down and walked away. Judging by his dirty clothes, I thought he was a homeless person and probably couldn’t afford them.
I felt really sorry for him and it was the season of good will a few days before xmas. So I headed back in to shop to give him a couple of pound towards his sheets, I met him coming out and went to give him the money making a joke “here’s some money for your sheets a present from your Secret Santa”
The guy pulled out a bundle of notes from his pocket look he said I’ve got money here (it was at least £500),
he had just finished working on a building site so that’s why he was so dirty and scruffy looking. I had just insinuating that the guy looked like a tramp. I was so embarrassed... I couldn’t apologise enough, what a horrible way to insult someone. 
He laughed and said it was probably the nicest thing anyone had ever done for him.
I was absolutely affronted I couldn’t get back to my car quick enough.
